I have a program (it's a game) and i want to have it accessable only by password..
simple as fuck...just don't know where to start.. so really, for me it's not that simple.

Man, I used to be so into coding.

You could spend hours trying to get nifty patterns to appear on your screen... lots of fun. I wonder why I drifted away from that?

with WinME, well, there isn't any way to really secure anything, ... If you're just looking to make the game hard to find, you can do the following

1) use CreateFile/ReadFile (http://www.msdn.microsoft.com) to load a critical file for the game into a buffer

2) use the password string to XOR it with the entire buffer of the file in the buffer

3) use CreateFile/WriteFile to write the XOR encoded file back to disk.

The XOR encoded file won't work, and to use it again, you need only repeat with the same password on the same file. XOR'ing something with the same memory twice produces the original file, so after the second time, the file will be useable again. The program won't contain the password needed to access the file, in fact unless someone knows you're using the XOR they won't have a clue whats going on. But XOR is a pretty weak encoding technique, if someone was determined with the right background they could crack it.

I'd probably make a commandline app that takes three parameters, the input file, the output file, and the password. Do the transform twice and make sure you can reproduce the original file. Then, after you've transformed the file, you can erase the original and its "inaccessible without the password"
